Introduction This TSB provides detailed instructions for a new LEV II EVAP System Check function
using the Diagnostic Tester.
The LEV II System Check allows the Diagnostic Tester to display the fuel tank vapor
pressure as the EVAP VSV and the CCV are operated in a specific six--step pattern.
Problems with the EVAP system are quickly isolated by observing the change in vapor
pressure during each step.
Once the vehicle condition is corrected, the LEV II System Check can also be used to
confirm the repair before the vehicle is returned to the customer.
The inspection procedure using the LEV II System Check (LEV II SYS CHECK) is
described in this bulletin. This function is available using a Diagnostic Tester with version
11.0a software (or newer).

are met.
S The vehicle is at sea level and at an atmospheric pressure of approximately
762 mmHg--a (0 mmHg--g).
S The external fuel tank temperature is between 4 to 35_C (40 to 90_F).

In Step 1, the EVAP actuators are at rest and the system pressure should equalize with
outside atmospheric pressure. This step ensures the test starts without any vacuum
and/or pressure on the system.

(duty cycles) the EVAP VSV and a vacuum is applied to the entire system. The LEV ll
system uses a high flow CCV. Since the CCV is open, there should be little or no drop in

(Continued)
During step 5, vacuum is applied to the EVAP system. The fuel tank’s interior should
develop negative pressure within 30 seconds (see example “A” in the diagram below).
If the pressure does not decrease sufficiently within 30 seconds, (for example, “B” in
diagram below) this indicates a leak or restriction in the system.
A moderate drop in pressure (for example, “C” in diagram below) indicates that a medium
leak is occurring in the system.

NOTE:
S If the pressure drops to 740 mmHg--a (--22 mmHg--g) at any point during this test,
the Diagnostic Tester will close the EVAP VSV to prevent system damage.

the LEV II SYS CHECK.
This usually happens when the fuel level in the tank is above 3/4 full.
Recheck proper fuel level, then restart the LEV II SYS CHECK.

Use the Fuel Cap Adapter to check if pressure is leaking as a result of the fuel
tank cap.
S If the fuel tank cap is not properly fastened, the EVAP system will be unable to
maintain enough negative pressure (vacuum). The ECM (PCM) may interpret the
pressure leak as a system malfunction and set a DTC.
S For each step in the LEV ll SYS CHECK, the vapor pressure sensor should be within
the given standard values.

When predetermined conditions (closed loop, etc.) are met, the EVAP VSV is opened
and fuel vapor stored in the canister is purged to the intake manifold. The ECM (PCM)
changes duty--cycle to the VSV to control purge flow volume. Purge flow volume is
determined by the intake manifold pressure. Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the
canister through the CCV to ensure that purge flow is maintained when negative
pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.

K. EVAP The EVAP monitor’s purpose is to check for EVAP leaks, EVAP VSV and CCV
Monitor malfunctions. The monitor performs the check by first introducing the intake manifold’s
Description negative pressure (vacuum) to the EVAP system. Then, the monitor records change in

the EVAP system’s pressure levels. The monitor runs when the following conditions
are met:
S The engine is in a state of cold soak. During cold soak, the ECT and IAT are nearly
equal and both are within 4 to 35_C (40 to 90_F).
S The vehicle is stopped and the engine is idling, or the vehicle is being driven at a
steady speed.
S The EVAP pressure is stabilized (pressure in fuel tank is atmospheric).

VAPOR PRESS
(Fuel Tank Pressure)

REPAIR MANUAL SUPPLEMENT: LEV II EVAP SYSTEM CHECK -- EG048-04 November 12, 2004
A leak in the EVAP system prompts the ECM (PCM) to set DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456.
The ECM (PCM) checks if the EVAP has leaks. First, the ECM (PCM) opens the EVAP
VSV while the CCV is closed. After a sufficient amount of time has passed, a high
negative pressure (vacuum) will develop in the fuel tank as air is drawn into the intake
manifold. The EVAP VSV is then closed. The ECM (PCM) then monitors the pressure
increase (loss of vacuum) in the fuel tank. If the pressure rises beyond a specified
amount, the ECM (PCM) determines that the system has a leak, turns on the MIL and
outputs a DTC.
The ECM (PCM) has separate DTCs for small and large leaks:
1. DTC P0442 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure has a large increase and the
EVAP system has a small leak.
2. DTC P0455 is set when the EVAP system has a gross leak. The ECM (PCM) tries to
create negative pressure (vacuum) in the fuel tank by opening the EVAP VSV while
the CCV is closed. However, the fuel tank pressure does not decrease beyond a
specified threshold (see section L: OBD II EVAP Monitor Specifications, page 39).
3. DTC P0456 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure increases slightly and the
EVAP system has a very small leak.

VAPOR PRESS
(Fuel Tank CCV Stuck Open
Pressure)
Normal
CCV Stuck Closed
The CCV is normally open. The CCV has the following uses:
1. Allows free flowing fresh air into the EVAP system while the EVAP VSV purges the
evaporative emissions from the fuel tank into the intake manifold. The EVAP VSV
draws fuel vapors from the fuel tank into the charcoal canister.
2. Relieves pressure inside the fuel tank when the pressure has suddenly risen.
3. Along with the EVAP VSV, creates negative pressure (vacuum) inside the fuel tank for
leak testing diagnostics.
The ECM (PCM) checks if the CCV is “stuck closed.” The ECM (PCM) commands the
CCV to open while the EVAP VSV is open. If high negative pressure (vacuum) develops
in the fuel tank and stays for more than 4 seconds, the ECM (PCM) determines that the
CCV remains closed despite the open command. The ECM (PCM) would then turn on
the MIL and output a DTC. The engine coolant temperature is not related to the output
of this DTC.
The ECM (PCM) also has a method for checking if the CCV is “stuck open.”
The ECM (PCM) commands the CCV to close while the EVAP VSV is open.
If a sufficient amount of negative pressure does not develop in the fuel tank, the
ECM (PCM) determines that the CCV remains open despite the close command.
The ECM (PCM) would then turn on the MIL and output a DTC.
